After traveling to Thailand, Tunisia, Manhattan, Yosemite, Paris, Chichen Itza, Hawaii, Pompeii, Barcelona, Jamaica, London, and Costa Rica with children under five, Shelly has grown quite familiar with the technical details of traveling--and sightseeing--with babies, toddlers, and young children.

Shelly's family travel tips and advice have appeared in national parenting magazines, including American Baby, Babytalk, Nick Jr. Magazine, Parent & Child, Parenting, Parents, and Pregnancy, and in newspapers including the LA Times and Boston Globe. Her family travel wisdom and tips have also been featured on popular parenting websites and blogs including, BabyCenter.com, Babble.com, iVillage, Nickelodeon's Parentsconnect.com, Urban Baby Daily, aParentlySpeaking, and TimeOut New York Kids.

The Travels with Baby Tips blog is now syndicated and also appears across the web at sites including USA Today and eHow. Work from her new Travels with Baby Traditions series has also been distinguished as a BlogHer Spotlight by BlogHer editors and featured in BlogHer Cultures.

Shelly has made radio and TV appearances, including the Happy Housewives Club, Childhood Matters, and is a frequent guest on ABC San Francisco's The View from the Bay (see more in media section).

Shelly travels as often and as far as she can with her husband and three young children. The rest of the time, she hangs her hats (as mother and writer) in the San Francisco Bay Area. She blogs at Travels with Baby Tips. Browse travel photos from some of her family's adventures in the Photo Gallery.
